Photographs of land areas and buildings taken by cameras mounted in airplanes or satellites. Aerial photographs are used by developers or builders for the use of prospective buyers. They are also used by civil engineers, geologists, geographers, archaeologists, etc. see also Aerial Photograph.

Document in which the seller (the affiant) identifies himself/herself and swears to his/her marital status and that he/she is in possession of the property and certifies that, since the date of the examination of title, there have been no judgments, divorces unrecorded deeds, unpaid repairs, bankruptcies or defects in title which are known to him/her.

Doctrine by which the title of real estate, previously unsuccessfully transferred because of lack of possession by grantor, automatically passes to the buyer upon acquisition by the grantor and is based on the acquisition of title by estoppel.

A window that is installed after the sheathing is installed. This is more difficult than installing the before sheathing window. With an after sheathing window, the carpenter must nail through the casing and sheathing into the jack studs; one nails through a wood lip, directly into the studs, on a before sheathing type.

The relationship between two people or entities where one is a principal and the other is an agent representing the principal in activities with other parties, such as a real estate agent buying or selling for a client.

Sand or stone component used as a filler in the making of concrete, which consists of Portland cement, water and the aggregate, which makes up 75 percent of the bulk. Aggregate ranges in size from sand, which is a fine aggregate to stone up to 2 ½" wide and is a coarse aggregate, depending on the strength needed. Although an aggregate does not add much strength to the mix, the wrong size stone or one of poor quality can weaken the mix. Alternately, the whole of something.

A document detailing the terms and sale price of a transaction, along with a description of the property and any time limits. A contract obligates the buyer to buy and the seller to sell and is normally accompanied by a deposit from the buyer.

Determination of value of agricultural land by taking into consideration the amount of arable land (property not disrupted by trees or overgrowth or untillable terrain), its proximity to an adequate water supply and the climatic location.

Rights to use the open air space above a street, railroad line, or other property. Sometimes used to allow construction of billboards or other signage. Air rights may also allow the construction of entire buildings, such as when a development is constructed over an existing highway.

Capped piece of pipe, close to a plumbing fixture, which is partially filled with air. Also called air cushions they are designed to absorb shock from abrupt water stoppage, which creates a noise known as water hammer.

An expansion tank. Closed tank in a hot water system providing space for the water expansion in the system as it is heated. Tank contains both water and air and as the water expands, the air in the tank is compressed.

Concrete that has been altered chemically, with an additive, to disperse air bubbles through the mix. A yard of air-entrained concrete may contain over three trillion bubbles. This mix is easier to work than standard concrete and stands up well in cold weather, resisting salts better than other concrete. While it is good for pouring in cold weather because the bubbles allow the concrete to expand and contract more readily, it is not as strong as regular concrete. Also referred to as Aerated Concrete.

Powdered material, which is to be thermally deposited on a surface, is carried by an air stream and sprayed on the surface to be coated by means of this disbursing system. When heat conditions are appropriate, the material bonds to the surface.

Unit designed to move air and sometimes change the temperature, through the use of a fan system. These units, used in air distribution systems, circulate air throughout buildings by means of a series of ducts.

Blockage in the flow of liquid, especially on the suction side of the pump, which is caused by a gas bubble trapped in the line. Also called a vapor lock, a gas-tight chamber with an entrance and exit that is used as a passage into another space.
